Pro Wrestling SUN had their big Korakuen Hall show on Jan. 14. There are so many title belts on this show that it's hard to tell the players even if you have a scorecard. I guess that's because the scorecard is in Japanese. So after taking a couple of days to figure it out, Steve Corino & Toshie Uematsu are champs. Hikaru is a champ.Of course Wesna Busic is still a champ too. And Amazing Kong has two belts. Of course there was plenty of overbooked nonsense but that's nothing new here.
The opener was called a "SUN*Shine" tag match as a tribute to Natsuki*Taiyo winning the POP Title. Shuu Shibutani & Ayumi Kurihara won over Natsuki*Taiyo & Sakura Emi when Kurihara used a bomb (Ithink it was the same move Natsuki*Taiyo uses as a finisher) on Emi at 14:17. Kurihara even called herself Ayumi*Kurihara for this match. Those two have wrestled a lot lately but I guess we will see that again. Panther Claw won over Atsuko Emoto with a triangle choke at 11:58. The ref stopped the match. I hope she didn't break a nail. Steve Corino & Toshie Uematsu won the WDB Mixed Tag Team Titles over Saki Maemura & Chris The Bambi Killer in 17:00.
Next we're entering the twilight zone. Wesna Busic put up her EWA Womens Title. Hikaru put up her hair. The match was going along OK until it went out to the floor and Busic gave Hikaru a Tower HackerBomb. Panther Claw & Toshie Uematsu came out with scissors. I guess they cut her hair anyway. Busic did a diving footstomp from the first tier of seats. Hikaru manages to get back to the ring. Hikaru comes back and uses the Wesna killer and an avalanch style Lanakiller-H but Panther Claw interferes to break up the count. Hikaru uses another Lanakiller-H to get the win at 16:00. Hikaru's reaction (pictured) to this was like she had never held a title belt before. She actually has. Maybe she'll get a sustained push this time. She's never gotten that before. She wins and then she loses. That's been the pattern.
The double title match between Nanae Takahashi & Amazing Kong started with boos from the crowd when Steve Corino came out to second Amazing Kong. Takahashi gets a missile dropkick on Kong and the fight goes outside the ring. They get back in on the count of 18. Takahashi works on the arm with an arm breaker. Kong counters with an Amazing Press for a two count. Takahashi uses a Shining Wizard but can't get the win. Finally Kong bloodies Takahashi's nose with a back fist and finishes her with a jumping senton at 20:09. So Amazing Kong is now the AWA World Womens Champ & the World 1 Womens Champ. Amazing Kong said afterwards that REM will now control everything in Japan & the US. I think she said something about wanting all the belts so beware Hikaru. Wait, Wesna has a belt too. Never mind.
The gaijins are in Japan for the rest of this week to work some ZERO-ONE MAX shows. The next SUN show is Feb. 21 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring.The next Korakuen Hall show will probably be in April. That's been the pattern so far and they've been bringing Panther Claw & Wesna Busic for the bigger shows only. So when is Cheerleader Melissa coming to Pro Wrestling SUN? I don't know yet but it could be April but I suspect it's more likely to be July. SUN had a press conference on Monday to promote the upcoming week's ZERO-ONE MAX shows and theFeb. 21 show. Wesna Busic interrupted Hikaru & Takahashi and told Hikaru that she would fix her this week. She's not going to be on the Feb. show. Hikaru & Takahashi discussed the possibility of having a singles match for the EWA Singles Title on Feb. 21. SUN president Nakamura is taking it under advisement but I would not be surprised if they do it. Of course the problem is they're close friends so there's no heat. And there's also Hikaru's history of false pushes.She needs more wins to be more credible. Either way, it's likely the winner will face Wesna Busic in April if they decide to do this match in Feb.
